  • the object of the present invention is to provide a steel very excellent in forging performance, which steel is much lower than conventional steels in deformation resistance during cold forging and warm forging, as well as during hot forging, exhibits required strength after heat treatment following forging, and thus enables improved forging die life and reduction of number of forgings.
  • the inventors conducted a detailed study in order to achieve the object of the present invention. As a result, they learned that greatly reducing carbon content from the 0.02% level considered necessary for ensuring strength after quenching and tempering of a conventional steel (e.g., SCr420) markedly lowers deformation resistance during forging, and in addition, makes it possible to ensure post-forging component strength by controlling the ranges of components in line with effective hardening depth after carburization, quenching and tempering.

  • a steel whose deformation resistance in the compression test at room temperature was lower than that of JIS SCr420 steel selected as a typical case hardening steel for comparison (C: 0.20%, Si: 0.25%, Mn: 0.65%, P: 0.011%, S: 0.014%, Cr: 0.92%) by greater than 35% and whose effective hardening depth after carburization, quenching and tempering was 0.6 mm or greater was rated O (Excellent).

  • the steels within the range simultaneously satisfying the conditions of adequately low deformation resistance and the specified surface hardness were ones whose C content was less than 0.07% and whose compositions were in the range satisfying Di: 60 or greater.
  • Samples cut from the aforesaid rolled steels and ground into test pieces of 17.5 mm diameter by 52.5 mm length were subjected to carburization treatment.
  • Carburization was conducted at 950°C under carbon potential of 0.8% for 360 min and was followed by quenching and tempering at 160°C.
  • the quenched and tempered test piece was cut crosswise, the cross-sectional surface was polished, and the HV hardness distribution in the cross-section was measured inward from the test piece surface under 200 g load using a micro Vickers hardness tester, thereby determining the effective hardening depth (depth at HV 550) in accordance with JIS G 0557 (1996).
  • the steels within the range simultaneously satisfying the conditions of adequately low deformation resistance and the specified surface hardness were ones whose C content was less than 0.07% and whose compositions were in the range satisfying Di: 60 or greater. C of 0.02% or less and Di of 60 or greater are preferable.
  • the deformation resistance of iron having bcc (body centered cubic) crystal structure is lower than iron having fcc (face centered cubic) crystal structure.
  • Iron has bcc structure at room temperature but assumes fcc structure at high temperature.
  • C is an fcc stabilizing element. Therefore, if C content is reduced, the fraction accounted for by bcc increases during high-temperature forging, thereby lowering deformation resistance.
  • Jominy value is the index generally used for the hardenability of case hardening steels. But steels of low carbon content such as the invention steel have very low Jominy values. Conventionally, therefore, they have never been used as case hardening steels.
  • the surface hardness and effective hardening depth shown in FIG. 2 are two important ones also ordinarily required in the actual component, while in no small number of cases they are not required with respect to the internal hardness (internal uncarburized region hardness).
  • the depth to which Hv 550 is established which is the definition of the effective hardening depth, can be seen to correspond to the depth to which the carburization caused C to penetrate at a concentration of around 0.4%. Therefore, even if the hardenability of the steel itself is low, it can be considered possible to obtain adequate effective hardening depth insofar as hardenability is ensured to a depth where 0.4% C is present.

  • [%C] indicates C content (mass%)
  • Di(Si), Di(Mn), Di(Ni), Di(Cr), Di(Mo) and Di (Al) are defined as in Equation (1)
  • the Di is the ideal critical diameter of a round bar that following an ideal quench will have 50% martensite at its center and, as such, is an index of steel hardenability. ( Handbook of Iron and Steel IV, Third Edition, p.122, compiled by The Iron and Steel Institute of Japan, published by Maruzen, 1981 ).
  • Equations (1) and (2) appearing in this specification were, as discussed below, formulated by the inventors through experimentation, while referring to the general literature reference Yakiiresei by Shigeo Owaku.
  • Test pieces of the shape specified by JIS G 0561 (2000) were prepared from rolled steels of different compositions varied within the ranges of C content of 0 to 0.8%, Cr: 0 to 5.0%, Si: 0 to 3.0%, P: 0 to 0.2%, S: 0 to 0.35%, Mn: 0 to 4.0%, Mo: 0 to 1.5%, Ni: 0 to 4.5%, Al: 0 to 2.0%, N: 0 to 0.03%, and Cu: 0 to 2.0%.
  • the test pieces were hardened from the austenite region temperature and then subjected to hardenability testing, whereafter the effect of the alloying elements on Di was assessed.
  • the inventors sought to formulate the simplest possible equation from the experimental values by least square approximation.
  • Equation (1) or (2) The Di found from Equation (1) or (2) is an index formulated based on this thinking that represents steel hardenability at the depth to which C of 0.4% concentration penetrates by carburization. It is presumed that adequate effective hardening depth after carburization can be realized with a low C steel if the Di is sufficient. As Di of the comparative JIS SCr420 steel calculated by Equation (1) is 60, the conclusion reached in the aforesaid investigation seems reasonable. Although the internal hardness of the invention steel is lower than that of the comparative steel because its C content is low, its internal hardness can be increased by adding alloying elements that increase the Di.
  • FIG. 4 shows the relationship between Di and effective hardening depth for a conventional steel such as SCr420 containing 0.2% C (dashed curve) and for a steel containing less than 0.07% C (hatched curve), both of which were subjected to the same gas carburization, quenching and tempering (at 950 °C under carbon potential of 1.1% for 176 min and then carbon potential of 0.8% for 110 min, followed by quenching and tempering at 160°C).
  • the effective hardening depth of even a very low carbon steel can be increased by increasing the Di of the steel.
  • the effective hardening depth can be made still greater by prolonging the carburization time, increasing the carburization temperature, and conducting additional high-frequency heating after carburization.
  • Di must be 60 or greater, it is not subject to an upper limit and can be regulated in line with the effective hardening depth, internal hardness and performance factors (specifications) required by the component after carburization, quenching / hardening and tempering.
  • Di internal hardness and performance factors (specifications) required by the component after carburization, quenching / hardening and tempering.
  • An effective hardening depth that is 90 to 100% or greater than that of the comparative steel can be obtained by further increasing Di.
  • the present invention achieves a great reduction of deformation resistance relative to conventional steels over a broad temperature range including the cold, warm and hot zones, while simultaneously ensuring adequate effective hardening depth.
  • the performance of the present invention is summarized in FIG. 5 .
  • room temperature (cold) forging the steel is softened chiefly by reducing solid solution strengthening through C content reduction.
  • warm forging the steel is softened by reducing solid solution strengthening through C content reduction and by increasing bcc fraction by use of bcc stabilizing elements.
  • the steel is softened by positive use of bcc stabilizing elements to increase bcc fraction.
  • C content is preferably in the range of 0.001 to less than 0.03%.
  • a still stronger deformation resistance reducing effect can be obtained by defining C content in the range of 0.001 to less than 0.02%.
  • Si 0.7% or less
  • Mn 0.01 to 4.0%
  • Cr 5.0% or less
  • Nb 0.005 to 0.1%.
  • Di of the steel is determined primarily by the three elements Si, Mn and Cr because the steel does not contain Mo or Ni.
  • the value of Di calculated by Equation (1) should be made 60 or greater by selectively combining the three elements.
  • the hardenability improving effect per unit content (%) is greater in the order of Si ⁇ Cr ⁇ Mn, while the effect on deformation resistance at room temperature is greater in the order of Si ⁇ Mn ⁇ Cr. Therefore, when emphasis is on low deformation resistance during cold forging, Cr is preferably added in the largest amount among the three elements. When much Cr is added, intentional addition of Si can be avoided. Addition of Cr in excess of 5.0% impairs carburizability. The upper limit of Cr content is therefore defined as 5.0%.
  • Si which is high in solid solution strengthening capacity at room temperature, produces little effect at high temperature. Rather, Si can be more effectively exploited as a bcc phase stabilizing element to increase the bcc fraction in the warm and hot forging temperature zones and thus lower deformation resistance to forging in the high-temperature zone.
  • Si in excess of 3.0% impairs carburizability.
  • Si greatly increases deformation resistance at room temperature, it is added to a content of 0.7% or less when the steel is to be cold forged.
  • Si is a bcc stabilizing element, it is preferably added to a content of 0.1 to 0.7% in the case of a warm- or hot-forging steel.
  • Mn imparts hardenability to the steel and also works to prevent hot embrittlement by S contained in the steel.
  • the effect of Mn addition on hardenability is obtained at an Mn content of 0.01% or greater.
  • the lower limit of Mn content is therefore defined as 0.01%.
  • Addition of Mn to a content exceeding 4.0% markedly increases deformation resistance during forging, so the upper limit of Mn content is defined as 4.0%.
  • the Mn content range is therefore defined as 0.01 to 4.0%.
  • the preferably Mn content range for cold forging applications is 0.01 to 1.0%.
  • Cr is used to determine Di by selective combination with Si and Mn.
  • addition of Cr to a content exceeding 5.0% impairs carburizability.
  • the upper limit of Cr content is therefore defined as 5.0%, preferably 4.0%.
  • P is high in solid solution strengthening capacity at room temperature and its content in a cold-forging steel is therefore preferably held to 0.03% or less, more preferably to 0.02% or less.
  • P can be used as a bcc stabilizing element in a high-temperature forging steel, in which case addition to a content of 0.2% is acceptable. However, addition to a content exceeding 0.2% causes occurrence of flaws during rolling and/or continuous casting. The upper limit of P content is therefore defined as 0.2%.
  • S is an unavoidable impurity that causes hot embrittlement. A minimal content is therefore preferable. However, it also helps to improve machinability by combining with Mn in the steel to form MnS. S markedly degrades steel toughness when added to a content exceeding 0.35%. The upper limit of S content is therefore defined as 0.35%. N: 0.016% or less
  • N content exceeding 0.03% causes occurrence of flaws during rolling and/or continuous casting.
  • N is preferably added to a content of 0.01 to 0.016%.
  • Addition of Mo produces mainly two effects.
  • Mo plays in increasing Di and controlling the structure of the steel.
  • other elements such as Si, Mn and Cr can fill this role, there is no particular need to add Mo.
  • the other is the effect of Mo addition toward inhibiting softening when the temperature of a steel component such as a gear or continuously variable transmission sheave rises during use.
  • Mo is preferably added to a content of 0.05% or greater for realizing this effect. But, in this case also, there is no particular need to add Mo when the need for elements that soften and lower resistance is satisfied by elements other than Mo.
  • addition to a cold-forging steel is preferably held to a content of 0.4% or less.
  • Mo is a bcc stabilizing element, however, it can be effectively utilized in a steel to be forged at high temperature. But when added to a content in excess of 1.5%, Mo sharply increases deformation resistance at high-temperature. The upper limit of Mo addition is therefore defined as 1.5%.
  • Ni plays in increasing Di and controlling the structure of the steel. However, when other elements such as Si, Mn and Cr can fill this role, there is no particular need to add Ni. The other is the effect of Ni addition toward improving toughness, which is necessary in steel components such as slow-speed gears.
  • Ni is preferably added to a content of 0.4% or greater.
  • Ni impairs carburizability when added to a content exceeding 4.5%. The range of Ni content is therefore defined as 4.5% or less.
  • Ni is an fcc stabilizing element. Therefore, addition of a bcc stabilizing element simultaneously with Ni is effective for reducing deformation resistance in the high-temperature zone. Al: 0.0001 to 2.0%
  • Al addition is directed mainly to three purposes.
  • the first is to utilize AlN. Occurrence of coarse grains during carburization can be prevented by exploiting the ability of AlN precipitates to pin grain boundary movement. At an Al content of less than 0.0001%, this effect is not exhibited because the amount of AlN precipitates is insufficient. Al must therefore be added to a content of 0.0001% or greater.
  • the second purpose is to utilize Al as a bcc stabilizing element in a steel for forging in the high-temperature zone. Deformation resistance during forging in the high-temperature zone can be lowered by increasing bcc fraction.
  • the third purpose is to impart hardenability to the steel. Di can be increased by Al addition. Addition of Al to a content exceeding 2.0% impairs carburizability.
  • the Al content range is therefore defined as 0.0001 to 2.0%, more preferably 0.001 to 2.0%. Addition of Al to a content of greater than 0.06% to 2.0% increases bcc fraction, thereby effectively reducing deformation resistance in the warm and hot forging zones. Cu: 0.6 to 2.0%
  • Addition of Cu produces mainly three effects. One is in the role Cu plays in improving the corrosion resistance of the steel. The second is the toughness and fatigue strength improving activity of Cu, which works to good effect when Cu is added to low-speed gear steel. These two effects are small when Cu is added to a content of less than 0.6%. The lower limit of Cu content is therefore defined as 0.6%. The third effect is to impart hardenability to the steel, which is exhibited at a Cu content of greater than 1%. Addition of Cu to a content exceeding 2% heavily degrades the hot-ductility of the steel and leads to occurrence of many flaws during rolling. The range of Cu content is therefore defined as 0.6 to 2.0%.
  • Cu increases deformation resistance at room temperature, its content in a cold-forging steel is therefore preferably held to 1.5% or less. Moreover, Cu is an fcc stabilizing element. Therefore, in order to reduce deformation resistance in the high-temperature zone, it is effective to add a bcc stabilizing element simultaneously.
  • B is a useful element that increases steel Di without significantly increasing deformation resistance.
  • solute B content 0.0004% or greater necessary.
  • the atomic weight of B is 10.8 and that of N is 14, so the amount of B that forms BN is 10.8 / 14 x N.
  • N has stronger affinity for Ti than B. Therefore, if Ti is added, TiN is formed first and the amount of B forming BN decreases. As the atomic weight of N is 14 and that of Ti is 47.9, the amount of N remaining after TiN formation is (N - 14 / 47.9 x Ti) and this remaining N forms BN. From this it follows that a B content equal to or greater than BL determined by Equation (7) is required to ensure solute B of 0.0004% or greater. However, as explained further later, if Ti is added in an amount greater than that consumed for TiN formation aimed at securing the desired solute B content, the excess amount does not contribute to TiN formation. Therefore, when ([%N] - 14 / 47.9 x [%Ti]) is less than 0, it is treated as 0.
  • Ti forms TiN when added.
  • N content is sufficiently low and B is added to a content that ensures adequate solute B, there is no need to add Ti for the purpose of TiN formation aimed at ensuring required solute B content.
  • TiN has an effect of inhibiting crystal grain coarsening.
  • Ti present in excess of 47.9 / 14 x N forms TiC, which, like TiN, inhibits grain boundary movement.
  • Ti addition is effective when coarse grains tend to occur owing to high carburization temperature or the like.
  • Ti carbonitrides In order to use formed Ti carbonitrides to prevent grain boundary movement, Ti should preferably be added to a content of 0.005% or greater. When Ti content exceeds 0.15%, coarse Ti carbonitrides occur that act as starting points for fatigue fracture. The upper limit of Ti content is therefore defined as 0.15%.
  • Di is determined using the following Equations (3) and (4), which are obtained by multiplying the right sides of Equations (1) and (2) by 1.976, a factor based on an evaluation of the effect of B addition on Di.
  • Di 5.41 ⁇ Di Si ⁇ Di Mn ⁇ Di Cr ⁇ Di Mo ⁇ Di Ni ⁇ Di Al ⁇ 1.976
  • Di 5.41 ⁇ Di Si ⁇ Di Mn ⁇ Di Cr ⁇ Di Mo ⁇ Di Ni ⁇ Di Al ⁇ Di Cu ⁇ 1.976
  • Equations (3) and (4) the following experiment was carried out to determine the contribution of B with respect to Equations (1) and (2).
  • Equations (3) and (4) were obtained by multiplying the right sides of Equations (1) and (2) by this value. Nb: 0.005 to 0.1% and V: 0.01 to 0.5%
  • Heat treatment of a component after forging, cutting or other machining may cause grain coarsening if the heat treatment temperature is high.
  • the component may deform or experience some other problem because the grain-coarsened region has a different structure from its surroundings.
  • grain coarsening must be prevented.
  • the ability of Nb carbonitride and V carbonitride to pin grain boundary movement can be effectively utilized for this purpose.
  • Nb In order to use formed Nb carbonitrides to prevent grain boundary movement, Nb must be added to a content of 0.005% or greater. On the other hand, deformation resistance increases sharply when Nb content exceeds 0.1%.
  • the upper limit of Nb content is therefore defined as 0.1%, so that the range of Nb content is defined as 0.005 to 0.1%.
  • V In order to use formed V carbonitrides to prevent grain boundary movement, V must be added to a content of 0.01% or greater. On the other hand, addition of V in excess of 0.5% causes occurrence of flaws during rolling.
  • the upper limit of V content is therefore defined as 0.5%, so that the range of V content is defined as 0.01 to 0.5%.
  • Mg 0.0002 to 0.003%
  • Te 0.0002 to 0.003%
  • Ca 0.0003 to 0.003%
  • Zr 0.0003 to 0.005%
  • REM 0.0003 to 0.005%.
  • Elongated MnS inclusions present in the steel component are disadvantageous in that they impart anisotropy to the component's mechanical properties and act as starting points for metal fatigue fracture. Some components require very high fatigue strength.
  • Mg, Te, Ca, Zr and REM are added to such components to control the MnS morphology. However, the amounts added are limited to specified ranges for the following reasons.
  • the minimum Mg content for controlling MnS morphology is 0.0002%. But an Mg content of greater than 0.003% coarsens oxides and degrades rather than improves fatigue strength. The range of Mg content is therefore defined as 0.0002 to 0.003%.
  • the minimum Te content for controlling MnS morphology is 0.0002%. But a Te content of greater than 0.003% greatly strengthens hot embrittlement to make the steel hard to process during manufacture. The range of Te content is therefore defined as 0.0002 to 0.003%.
  • the minimum Ca content for controlling MnS morphology is 0.0003%. But a Ca content of greater than 0.003% coarsens oxides and degrades rather than improves fatigue strength. The range of Ca content is therefore defined as 0.0003 to 0.003%.
  • the minimum Zr content for controlling MnS morphology is 0.0003%. But a Zr content of greater than 0.005% coarsens oxides and degrades rather than improves fatigue strength. The range of Zr content is therefore defined as 0.0003 to 0.005%.
  • the minimum REM content for controlling MnS morphology is 0.0003% But an REM content of greater than 0.005% coarsens oxides and degrades rather than improves fatigue strength.
